Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

Well, to be fairthe Welsh name is not intuitively obvious. For that matter, much of your spelling/pronunciation doesn't make sense either- "Worchestershire" should not be pronounced as "Wooster".
The castle, though, is inexcusable.

by the way...it's pronounced Al-You-min-ium. Not Aloo-min-um. See how the letters make up the word "Aluminium". The last time I looked the Periodic Table, it wasn't spelled differently across the Atlantic...

Lucky you don't have to pronounce it in German.

Not intuitively obvious??It's in Welsh. You know. A different language. It isn't supposed to be intuitively obvious.
Mind you, one of the funniest things about the Welsh language is the way they nick English words, and then phoneticaly spell them with a Welsh pronunciation e.g. 'ambiwlans' for 'ambulance'. The Japanese do something similar, though.
